Installing Foswiki: Download and unpack the Foswiki distribution

Download the Foswiki distribution from http://foswiki.org/Download

Unpack the distribution file: Change to the directory where you want to place the Foswiki directory. Unzip or untar and gunzip the distribution; a new subdirectory called Foswiki-VERSION will be created. You can rename this subdirectory to a shorter name.

Note: Foswiki does not support directory paths that contain spaces, so ensure that all of its directory paths do not contain any spaces.
